Red Herring chose AtTask to be among its 100 North America Winners. This project and portfolio management company produces on-demand solutions for companies..
Earlier this year, AtTask Inc. was selected as a winner of the Red Herring 100 North America Award. The award is given to the one-hundred most innovative private technology companies located within North America by the well-respected magazine devoted to “The Business of Technology.” AtTask, Inc. provides on-demand project and portfolio management software. In its recognition, it joins previous winners such as Google, Yahoo!, and Youtube.
AtTask is a multi-functional project and portfolio management system. The program covers three main company requirements: Management, Collaboration and Integration. The program allows for distribution of work, ease of updates, remote collaboration, and more.
Tools for Management include:
· Quick search
· Viewable Baselines
· Project Reports
· Portfolio Scorecard
· Timesheets
· Combined and Personal Calendars
These tools alone make AtTask a powerful tool for project and portfolio management. However, in addition to these tools, there are also collaboration tools including:
· Tasks by status
· Task Worksheets
· Pie charts
· Milestone Path status reports
· Document uploading
· Email notification alerts
· And notes that are intended to reduce the need for status meetings
Finally, AtTask integrates seamlessly with many other software programs including:
· Microsoft Office Outlook
· Oracle
· SAP
· People Soft
· MS Project
· Salesforce
With options to host AtTask on company servers or AtTask servers, the software is user-friendly, and secure. The program also offers many opportunities for customization so that it can really work well for your organization, meeting company needs efficiently. Because the software easily integrates into already existing PPM systems, it boasts a flexibility other programs do not have. It is a great stand-alone program, but an incredibly powerful tool when used to its full potential integrating with the broad software available.
Red Herring awards the 100 North America for private companies, considering primarily new firms. A company can only win the award once. The awards identify new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. AtTask has been recognized primarily for its innovation – and it appears that this software covers most, if not all, project and portfolio management needs – especially with the ability to integrate into already existing software.
